Dear Camino Parent or Guardian,
Our Camino Families play an important role in the success of our children. There are many different ways that you can get involved and support your children’s learning. Whether you attend Parent Society meetings, volunteer, help with the school events, review your child´s achievement in Schoology or just read with your child at home each night, you are making a contribution that will help your child do well in school and beyond.
Family engagement is strong at Colegio El Camino, but we would like to make it even better and make sure our programs meet the needs of families, students, and teachers. You can help us form a better partnership between school and home by answering the questions on the following survey links we have provided in an EBlast sent on Wednesday June 20th. or type the following url links into your web browser.
CLIMATE AND CULTURE PARENT SURVEY
This survey asks parents to describe different aspects of theirs and their child’s experience with school.

PARENT SURVEY FOR INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS
This survey asks parents their opinions about their child’s school, including questions about teachers, administrators, and other aspects.

You can choose to answer in Spanish or English and they are anonymous. In the open answer section, you can provide us narratives of both your commendations and recommendations. Please be sure they are specific and constructive so we can better address them.
Examples; “The IB program has made a significant difference in the way my child sees things from different perspectives”. (specific and constructive) versus “I like the IB program” (constructive but not specific)
“Communication on a more regular and frequent basis from (insert person’s name) would assist me in helping my child improve his behavior” (specific and constructive) versus “School Communication is terrible”. (not specific or constructive)
We request you do these surveys in the presence of your child so he or she can answer your questions about things you may be unsure about but the survey is from your perspective and we would like to let you know that we have already surveyed children in May.
NOTE: When the survey asks about our purpose statement it refers to our Mission and Vision. You can find it on our website. When the surveys ask about Governance, that refers to the School Board. When the surveys ask about The School Leadership this refers to The General Director, Principals and IB Coordinators as a team.
Please return this form to your child’s teacher signed by you and your child indicating the date you completed the survey. We will be closing off the survey on Monday June 25th so we can analyze the results and include them in ongoing strategic school improvement plan. If you have any questions about the surveys or about our school’s current family-engagement opportunities, please don’t hesitate to set up an appointment with me. The school number is 143 2100 ext. 112, or I can be most easily reached through Schoology.
Sincerely, Heath Sparrow General Director Colegio El Camino
